Does Time Machine backup all accounts

I have two accounts on my iMac, one for me and one for my wife. Does Time Machine backup both accounts?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Backing Up with Time Machine Does Time Machine backup multiple users at once or must they be backed up individually? I have two users on my MacBook Air M1 and will be upgrading to the latest OS over the weekend. But, if it fails and I lose my wife’s “stuff”.. my name will be mud. So, I want to be sure I have a complete backup available of both users. Thank you for your time Ralph

Does Time Machine backup all users on my machine I'm getting ready to trade in my MacBook Air. I'm backing it up using Time Machine. I want to confirm it will backup data for all users? I have profiles for my kids on my machine and want to be able to restore their data on the new machine using migration from Time Machine. Thanks!
